Lex Luthor’s Gear Build
Very important and there are a couple things to mind regarding gear:
As you can see your gear has a set that will make a huge bonus when you complete 2/4 pieces of the same set. This is the first and most important checkbox to hit, make sure to have the set items correct – we recommend you have these set items (doesn’t matter what slot, just for the bonus):
Now the more interesting part is the flexible main stats and sub stats on each gear item. This is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT as you can’t upgrade all gear that you find. The resources are so expensive espcially for higher rarity that you should only upgrade gear that is perfect in main and sub stats for your hero! Here’s what the stats should be – if they check all boxes you can upgrade the gear item:

Lex Luthor’s Emblem Priority
In the early game, aim for Lex Luthor’s Emblem Level 10 to unlock basic energy restoration and shielding, which helps your team cycle their ultimate abilities faster. Reaching Level 20 in the mid-game is a major milestone because it enhances his high-tech shielding, allowing it to absorb significantly more damage for your squishiest allies. The ultimate power spike occurs at Level 30, where his emblem can potentially reset the cooldown of his allies’ skills or grant massive energy chunks upon a shield breaking. This investment is top-tier because it transforms Lex from a simple buffer into a battery for the entire team, fueling high-damage units like Batman or Black Adam. Ultimately, his emblem is essential for late-game energy-hungry lineups that rely on back-to-back ultimate rotations to clear high-deficit stages.
Lex Luthor’s Artifact
You can equip any class artifact to any hero and they will benefit differently well from that. Here’s the priority on how the ones that work will perform so you can pick the strongest option you have:
Please mind that new artifacts are released so this will grow more complex in the future, right now the artifacts are quite hirarchichal on the heroes,means use the highest rarity one on your strongest hero and so on when assinging them to your team.
